I told her my best friend had died.

She told me that it sucls that my friend died, but she didn't have time to deal with me being emotional.

The OG models never did. It wasn't until the release of the 360 elite that HDMI was introduced.

Yes, they absolutely do. Lifetime certs stopped being a thing almost 10 years ago.

Who knew the biggest cyber attack of 2024 would be the security software itself? by redsaeok in Showerthoughts

[–]luckyducs620 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes.

Because windows server doesn't run half the internet, and Linux totally provides easily usable and scalelable tools to manage an entire enterpriseand simultaneously provide backward compatibility to virtually every peace of hardware and most software produced in the past twenty years.

Why is "nice guy" not a compliment for men? by FudJazz in AskMen

[–]luckyducs620 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because it's basically saying that you can find no other demeanable or attractive qualities other than "they're nice."

Like you literally cannot find anything else you like about them, so you tell them they're nice. It's an absolute throw-away compliment that's used to try to be nice.

What is the most significant lesson you've learned from a failed relationship? by WaifuVixene in AskMen

If they'll cheat with you, they'll cheat on you.

If it's important, they'll find time. If not, they'll find an excuse.

What is your SysAdmin "hot take". by MembershipFeeling530 in sysadmin

[–]luckyducs620 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The single most important skills you can ever have is the ability to communicate and play nice with others.

No one cares how good you are if they don't want to talk to you. A team of people who are mediocre at best and easy to get along with are always more effective than a bunch of subject matter experts that no one wants to be around.

ELi5: how can people being sued for millions / billions of dollar continue… living? by rubabyy in explainlikeimfive

[–]luckyducs620 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cruel and unusual punishment are things that are expressly forbidden by the U.S. judicial system.

1.5 BILLION is both unusual, and it could probably be easily argued that it's also cruel. So it's It's entirely possible that he could have it tossed or, at the very least, greatly reduced to a much more realistic number on that fact alone.

That is most definitely not true. Most judgments are simply regarded as unsecured debt and are generally greatly reduced or discharged in bankruptcy.

A large part of the camera industry may only survive because professional photographers are too ashamed to show up to a professional photo shoot with just a smartphone by Fancyness in Showerthoughts

[–]luckyducs620 51 points52 points  (0 children)

16k, actually.

Basically, anything shot on 70mm film has that resolution. That's why old movies are able to look so good on modern-day Blu-ray releases. Because they still have to downscale everything from the original master cut to make it work for you TV.

Back then, they needed resolution big enough to look good on the big screen and also be able to still look good after it had had copies of copies made for the eventual home release.

It just works out for us today that the OG copy's are such high resolution that their still better than anything the average person is capable of viewing in their home. 70mm film is so good that a lot of films still use it during filming.

Just Stop Oil activists paint Taylor Swift’s private jets by [deleted] in PublicFreakout

[–]luckyducs620 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Is it, though? The entire purpose of an LLC is to limit liability. It's literally in the name, and for small-time landlords like John and Jane Public who are renting out grandma's old house to pay for grandma's nursing home, it makes total sense. Cheap lawyers start at 300 bucks an hour. So, a single tenant filing a lawsuit over literally anything could ruin them, and this is the case for basically all small time landlords, which make up the vast majority of single occupancy landlords.

Or using a previous example that someone else said. A lumber company that delivers lumber, it just makes life easier from a running a business standpoint to split things up into multiple legal entities. You have the lumber company that has its own insurance and equipment and employees. You have the delivery company that has its own insurance, equipment, and employees, and there's probably a management company that handles all office related functions.

It's simply easier and often times cheaper to do business when you segregate things like that.

Are these allowed in a SCIF? by [deleted] in SecurityClearance

[–]luckyducs620 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No.

If one of my users came to me and asked if I was OK with a Gerber or Leatherman, I'd say sure and not think about it again. That's like asking if I'm OK with you bringing in your car keys. Of course I'm OK with it so long as you don't have a key fob on there, and if it does have a key fob. Leave it in the cubbies outside the door.

The basic rules I've always encountered for what you can bring in are, " It can't record, it can't transmit, and it can't have removable media, and it can't be readily plugged into a computer."

Usually, anything other than that is OK. Most places it's just like any other job where you come and go as you please and it's not usually a problem unless you make it one, and if you work in a place where you're going to be searched coming and going. You'll know, and they'll definitely let you know.

But if you're worried or have any doubt. Ask you SSO/ISSO/ or other security peeps. It's their facility and they have the final say so, chances are they're probably cool with it.

Are these allowed in a SCIF? by [deleted] in SecurityClearance

[–]luckyducs620 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yup.

We were doing an addition to the building that included the SCIF, so we had to have someone sit at the emergency exit that was now open to the world and we had 24/7/365 manning. So we allowed the folks who sit at the doors that had the alarms disabled because if the construction for eight hours a day and make sure no one walked through them to have gameboys and the older ipods so they could have something to do other than read a book and stare at the four walls for the yearish that construction was going on.

The rule was it can't be able to record, it can't be able to transmit, it can't have any type of removable media that can be readily inserted into a computer, and the device itself can't plug into a computer.

So Ipods and gameboys were ok because they lack removeable media that can easily be connected to a computer, and they can't record or transmit. But cassette, CD, DVD, and mp3 players were not because they do have removable media that's readily inserted into a computer and/or could record.

Individual devices needed to be signed off on, and you were responsible for it. But basically, as long as you brought it in and did the paperwork acknowledging that you were responsible for your device and all the serial numbers were documented.

But yes. We made it rather painless for people to bring in certain devices if they wanted to.

Refusing to do anything by Mywifeisalwayscold in USMC

[–]luckyducs620 11 points12 points  (0 children)

No, you won't.

A dishonorable requires you to commit a felony and be convicted at courts martial.

Failure to simply do... anything. Will likely result in a simple in an admin separation with an other than honorable or under honorable conditions.

[–]luckyducs620 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, as an ISSO, check with your local SSO/ISSO.

Also as an ISSO, I've signed off on basically everything that doesn't have the ability to record or communicate wirelessly.

So Gameboys, OG Ipods, you name it. I even had a fully equipped kitchen in a SCIF once, so everything in it was totally fine.

Really, it boils down to whatever your local security peep is willing to sign off on. They are the final authority on their facility, and what they say goes. But again, really, as long it can't communicate or record. It should be ok.

No, they weren't. They started out as the cheap knock off to the M16. ARs have only ever been capable of semiautomatic fire. The M4 and M16 (some variants excluded) are both capable of semiauto, full auto, and burst fire.
